b. AR[1974]: 27 '...photographs and a cast were submitted to Mrs Joan Crowfoot-Payne (Oxford, Ashmolean Museum), who has read the cartouche as 'Djoser-Kheper-Ra' the name of Horemheb (1339-1304, or 1350-1315 B.C.), last Pharoah of the 18th Dynasty, and who considers the form of the scarab consistent with a date in the second half of the fourteenth century B.C.'
